Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles
Valid from: 6:00 AM on Thursday, May 19, 2022
The high-pressure system will remain the dominant feature resulting in a relatively dry atmosphere across the island during the next 24 to 48 hours. Occasionally breezy conditions will be maintained.
An increase in dust haze concentration is expected to be maintained over the island during the next 24 to 48 hours resulting in a reduction in visibility. People with respiratory sensitivities should take the necessary precautions to avoid complications.
Slight to moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 to 48 hours, with waves peaking at 7.0ft in eastern coastal waters. Small-craft operators and sea bathers on the eastern coast are advised to exercise caution.
Please note that a greater degree of cloudiness, more frequent rainfall, and higher rainfall amounts are normally experienced across the east coast and interior of Dominica.
